Trump’s anti-war vow tested as Israel attack on Iran splits MAGA base
Fear is growing among supporters that the latest conflict in the Middle East will embroil a reluctant president in another overseas military entanglement.
Donald Trump won last year’s US election promising to be a president of peace. With America now at risk of being dragged into a new war between Israel and Iran, that pledge is looking increasingly hollow.
Trump said on the campaign trail that he could easily resolve the conflict in Gaza, use diplomacy to halt Iran’s nuclear program, and end the war between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office.
